It’s even worse than post office!!! Don’t spend your hard earned money on this crusty broadband company. Absolute bog I tell ya. Takes forever to load and sometimes restarts on its own. Please, for your health and safety don’t get Shell Broadband. If this is the same company that does fuel they should stick to their day job and don’t try to make wifi routers
AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
Please save yourself. I can’t even leave. I’m stuck in this wack a** crusty weak old broadband loophole.

Broadband cannot even manage to maintain a video call. Got told I could keep my number then I can't.
Spends literally hours on hold being passed from one department to another and then back again as they don't know what their doing. I was misquoted early termination fees so decided to bite the bullet and leave, only to be told I eoukd have to pay £270 to end the contract early.

Broadband is totally unreliable. Constantly dropping of video calls. People cannot hear me. Unable to download. They deny there is an issue and keep fobbing us off. This service is useless. You are left waiting on hold forever and no one wants to help. Avoid this supplier.

Terrible company. They took over the post office as I left. Due to this an automatic account was set up, I have cancelled this account however they have taken money out of my account with our authorisation and every time I call I wait an hour to speak with someone for them to tell me I will get a refund only for it to be bounced back each time. Terrible customer service. Still waiting for my refund.

This review is regarding my dad's broadband with Shell which was migrated over from the Post Office. He s elderly (90 years) and hard of hearing. He asked me to call Shell to query a charge of £10 which was listed as alternative method of payment (despite £38 taken by DD for the broadband package). I called them one day and was fortunate to get through after 20 minutes but was refused any dealings as it was not my account. So I had to visit my dad and called them whilst there BUT nobody answered the phone (45 minutes). What a waste of everybody's time. They kept playing same monotonous message of how busy they were. Yet earlier that day, I was HOUNDED by 5 phone calls from them (as I am myself with Shell energy) wanting me to install a smart metre. They clearly had the sales force on the prowl but not having enough bodies to deal with queries. Shame on them. Now I am in catch 22 as I cannot speak to them unless I am at my dad's, yet when I am there the phone may not be answered.

Been with them for nine months of an eighteen month contract. Paying £32.99 a month and the fastest download speed I've recorded has been 4.2Mbs/sec. Much of the time it's much lower, often in the low kbs region. And now I see they're currently offering "fast" broadband (ave d/l speed of 11 Mbs/sec!!) for £17.99/mth on an 18 month contract. Very unimpressed with the price I'm paying and the snail's pace download speed, and will certainly not be renewing at the end of my contract.

Very poor customers service.
Cancelled contract 2 months ago but still receiving demands for payments on email with no explanation!
Requested clarification for the demands, received response that didn't answer why they keep asking for money. They even threatened to charge me £35 if I didn't return the router even though they hadn't sent the promised postage bag.
Beware of this company - was OK when run by Post Office.
If you need to contact them you may spend a lot of your time waiting in a call queue. Very, very poor!!

Shell Energy Broadband is the worst company I have ever tried to deal with. It is almost impossible to speak to the right person or get anything like a timely response.
Former Post Office customers who were transferred to Shell should band together to form an action group, so that that their host of legitimate grievances can be presented in a structured manner.
PS your star ratings should have a zero or negative option!
